Answer:
Interesting, thanks Scooter. That's a good read. I am especially happy to see my Brewers doing so well considering they are tied for 3rd in the NL Central with a 61-64 w/l record. We Brewer fans...through thick and thin *tear The Rangers are simply shocking this season. Nice fan following. It's cool to see the Royal fans supporting their team in larger numbers. It's those fans you really think..."Great fans" I remember a squirrel who once asked, "Who watches the Brewers?" In a sarcastic way. Silly squirrel, what was he thinking?

Oh My God!
Red Sox ratings are high b/c our fans are diehard and they go to school and then move or even go to school away. And everyone at home watches b/c there isn't anything more addicting on TV. The Red Sox are a roller coster ride... I wish I could watch but I'm goin on faith now.. when I watch they lose and I love em too much to hurt them... I'm totally surprised to see an ATL gain. The Rangers have a shot... and they are likeable... Nolan Ryan is doing a great job. No Marlins or TB gain? weird.
